    So has there been any updates on this process
    dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:C:\path\sources\install.esd
    dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:C:\path \sources\install.esd /SourceIndex:6 /DestinationImageFile:C:\path\cloud\sources\install.wim /Compress:Max /CheckIntegrity


    Step 2 Create an unattend.xml file:

    Windows System Image Manager (SIM) is a specific tool to create unattend file, you can install it from the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK).

    Download and install the Windows ADK


    info from source for Windows ADK , as I am new here and can't share web links.

    edit the unattend.xml for SkuPolicyRequired to 1 and that other S mode setting to 1 also I guess or both to 0 with cloud image upgrade not sure which can work if any since I haven't try it yet.

    On the right side:

    1. Under Answer File, select the amd64_Microsoft_Windows_CodeIntegrity component.
    2. Under Settings, change the SkuPolicyRequired value to
    3. Tools menu, select the Validate Answer File
    4. If there are no errors, click the File menu, and select the Save Answer File As option.
    5. Navigate to the folder you want to save the file.
    6. Under File name, use the unattend.xml file name.
    Once complete above steps, the unattend.xml file will be created, finished product.
    like this I can't share all the code since it thinks there is links in it

    <SkuPolicyRequired>1</SkuPolicyRequired>
    <EmodePolicyRequired>1</EmodePolicyRequired>

    then its back to these commands in powerShell command like on windows 10 or 11 platform, I guess it depends on which OS at the time your using etc.. to get this done.

    md c:\mount\windows
    dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:c:\path\cloud\sources\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\mount\windows

    like for the I am going to try this
    dism /image:C:\mount\windows /Set-Edition:CloudEdition
    md c:\mount\windows\Windows\Panther
    copy c:\path\cloud\unattend.xml c:\mount\windows\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml
    dism /Image=c:\mount\windows /Apply-Unattend=c:\mount\windows\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml
    dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:"c:\mount\windows" /commit

    then copy install.wim back into the source folder for using on the USB drive or create a iso image to boot in something like virtualbox first.

    I don't know if this process could work in getting a normal pc to use Windows 11 SE or not?

    First upgrade the win 11 pro image to the win 11 cloud edition image with before copying the unattend.xml into it.

    dism /image:C:\mount\windows /Set-Edition:CloudEdition

    edit: from my above post, I forgot once you do that dism /image:C:\mount\windows /Set-Edition:CloudEdition after mounting it, then you should run dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:"c:\mount\windows" /commit

    then open that Windows system image Manager, load the C:\path\cloud\image.wim and setup the <SkuPolicyRequired>1 and <EmodePolicyRequired>1 in it create the unattend.xml file for cloudedition so the coding is correct, then go back into mounting the image under C:\mount\windows

    then go these

    md c:\mount\windows\Windows\Panther
    copy c:\path\cloud\unattend.xml c:\mount\windows\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml
    dism /Image=c:\mount\windows /Apply-Unattend=c:\mount\windows\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml
    dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:"c:\mount\windows" /commit


    then with the C:\path\cloud\install.wim copy that back into your sources folder for windows 11 and either copy it to your USB drive, or put it into an ISO image either using NTlite or something else like imgburn to create an iso image if I am correct that should work? NTlite could mess it up I don't know if that should be used in this case.

    Why on earth would you want to install SE? imgburn is not the first tool i go to for bootable OS ISO mastering, use ultraISO or similar and ntlite can create ISOs?

    You can create SE simply by UUP dump, select pro, set convertconfig.ini to create CloudEdition:
    Code:
    vAutoEditions=CloudEdition

    also I would use something like rufus-3.20 to create an USB image that doesn't have that TPM 2.0 requirement since my desktop doesn't have that, normal windows 11 for the most part runs ok, on my gigabyte hardware, the only problem would be that fact it doesn't have that , my new laptop does, but old laptops don't so I don't know if that will effect how to runs , for example that subsystem for android on my desktop is not stable and the apps seems to crash a lot, they run but they crash and the windows close. So, why I think be testing it first in Oracle VM VirtualBox first, also most my computers have that digital activation thing for them, so I don't know if this cloud edition can be activated, or not, the normal windows 11 home with S mode was activation with digital last time I tried it, but I am not sure about cloud edition if it works the same or not on real hardware?

    ok, thanks, and yes I don't know if I would use it on real hardware, also I did that UUP dump thing too, I am just trying different methods of making it work, also I never used cloud edition so I don't know what to expect from it yet, like for example that store apps not working, might be one reason to use it in virtualbox or something else first.

    CloudEdition = only store apps will work.

    yes, NTlite can customize the image and create iso images of the installs it works with both windows 11 and windows 10 but I don't know if it supports windows 11 SE cloud edition that might cause it to have problems, and I try that ultraISO for the iso also, thanks.

    It's just a SKU/index in a wim, not a special ISO, if it can properly handle ISO creation then it should work with SE (s**tty edition) too.

    I thought I read somewhere here that the Microsoft store were disabled itself on the cloud edition and not useable, of course that might be something they did wrong with the copy's of cloud edition. I recall reading a post that says it doesn't open on Windows 11SE edition? it if does that great, I thought it only worked with Windows 11 Home S mode edition. and normal windows 11 editions of course.

    can the cloud edition be activated on normal hardware with digital activation? like normal windows 11 and 10? or does it only work on this modified editions with no activation? I am guessing in VirtualBox that it can't be activated there? my current activated desktops and laptops use the digital license linked to your microsoft account feature of windows, which is why I am asking if that works also with Windows 11 SE, or if its better to just keep it on an virtual machine, I was thinking of installing it on my old dell laptop since that computers hardware would work better with this or google chrome flex then windows 11 itself. Also I tried google chrome flex on it already, that Linux development installer is buggy on that laptop under chrome OS for Pcs.

    Afaik the whole reason for the existence of this limited OS is it is limited to store apps only.

    but i am signing out, have to move outside, the tilers will arrive soon and they need the floor to be accessible to wash it in

    shared some images above, missing from the created media seems to be the microsoft store, and no activation which I knew, the above images from my post are in Virtualbox itself. I will try and redo it to see if I can make that store work otherwise I got it to somewhat run powershell works, and edge is working, no offline accounts, and edge asks me to also log into my google account on it.

    can you point to which one of these are safe, that command do you use the GitHub one kkkgo/KMS_VL_ALL, or officialkmspico.net kms_vl_all_35 one? the GitHub one is detecting as a virus but the website one is not, which is why I am asking about it, microsoft defender on windows 10 is detecting that GitHub as a virus. since there is no digital copy to activate it attached to our microsoft accounts. again I maybe did something wrong or I created it right again my copy seems to be missing its microsoft store, but I didn't create it with that convert-UUP software, I used what I wrote on this page, below if you can't tell me the correct source for that I understand. that GitHub is either a virus as the zip is blocked from downloading or its a false positive detection of that one, the other website I found was able to download the zip , extract it and scan it with microsoft defender and that version didn't under windows 10 detect any virus code etc from it. -- to make that work I think I need some sort of product key since that above app, doesn't seem to activate it correctly with the copy I made today, otherwise it running correctly as far as I can tell. if there a generic product key that can be used with the above software? or I am missing something here from this page? what am I missing, since there seems to be no product key in the version of the iso I created, did I forget something or well I figure it out at some point. thanks again for the reply backs :)

    I download the wrong build at UUP dump, I picked the Latest Public Release build which I thought was Windows 11 builds, but there windows 10, that's why cloudedition in it failured for me, sorry again about that.
